Description
Channel your inner hippie with the distinctly tie-die-like flowers of Gladiolus 'Purple Art'. With shades of mauve, purple, and white appearing in broad, irregular bands across each generously sized, shaggy bloom, this cultivar is certain to turn heads in your garden. Undeniably fabulous, Gladiolus 'Purple Art' can be used to showstopping effect in a variety of colour schemes, but our favourite planting combo has to be when it erupts from a sea of dark foliage from neighbouring plants, such as Dahlia 'Crème de Cassis', Phlox 'Blind Lion', Geranium 'Pink Coffee' or Polemonium 'Heaven Scent'. Sumptuous, bold, and dramatic. What could be better?
Gladiolus 'Purple Art' is particularly fabulous and eye catching, yet incredibly easy to grow. To stretch out your gladiolus season as much as possible, we recommend making several staggered plantings throughout April and May. Choose a sunny and well-draining a spot as possible and plant your Gladiolus 'Purple Art' corms at three times their depth. Add plenty of spares for the vase—you’ll want to enjoy these both indoors and out!
